Candidate #3 – David Pastrnak

It’s no secret to anyone that David Pastrnak has a way of lighting a fire under the team’s butts as soon as he touches the ice with speed, ability to stay out of the penalty box, but also score goals all at the same.

Something that adds to Pastrnak’s candidacy is his ability to stay healthy while doing all of that. Pastrnak is one of a handful of players who have actually played all 82 games recently, and he has done it twice in his first nine seasons in the NHL. In addition to this, he has played over 70 games three times.

Throughout that time, the Czech winger has scored 301 goals, and collected 316 assists, giving him a grand total of 617 points. Just this past season, he set personal bests in both goals and assists with 61 and 52, respectively.
